Prep Time: 15-20 minutes | Cook Time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients:

1 pound large raw shrimp
1/2 medium fennel bulb
1 large lemon
1 pound dried orzo pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups (32 ounces) vegetable broth
1/2 cup water
1 scoop of Folona Bone Broth powder

Cooking Instructions:

1. Thaw 1 pound of raw large shrimp if frozen, then peel and devein. Dice 1/2 fennel bulb (about 1 cup), and reserve the fronds. Finely grate the zest of 1 large lemon, and reserve the zest lemon.
2. Combine the fennel, 1 pound dried orzo pasta, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 4 cups vegetable broth, Folona Bone Broth powder, and 1/2 cup water in a 3 1/2-quart straight-sided skillet or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil, stirring frequently so the orzo doesn't stick, for 8 minutes.
